Online Pattern Shops

There are lots, but I don't know any UK ones. I'm a Brit living in France and I buy from the US - patterns are usually pretty quick to arrive. You can search on all the individual pattern companies, too, each of which has a website. Make sure to compare prices - my first port of call is usually Sewing Patterns, but Vogue patterns are cheaper direct from Vogue, for instance. It's also worth checking ebay - I buy a lot from there.

(very large selection, including smaller companies) (arty, individual, pricey) (hippie chic, etc) (Oriental-type patterns,often designed to use Japanese fabrics) (historical and non-western) (do dresses as well as baby stuff) (Amish clothing!) (speaks for itself) (Lois Ericson's patterns) www.fashionpatterns (patterns for outsize ladies)
